PERSTORP DEBOTTLENECKING HDI IN FRANCE, ADDING IN ASIA

摘要

Perstorp's isocyanates business, now renamed Vencorex (see story p5) is debottlenecking its HDI (hexamethylene diisocyanate) facility in Pont de Claix, France. The move will add 4000 kg capacity for the trimer, "a significant increase," said Damien Baes, who is responsible for HDI and derivatives. The business also has trimer capacity at Freeport, Texas, in the US, he said, pointing out the global nature of this business. At Pont de Claix, the company makes both aromatic (TDI, toluene diisocyanate) and aliphatic isocyanates (ADIs).
